I'd like to get rid of my Expedition for something smaller and easier to park and more environmentally friendly. I need the third row of seats since I am always transporting extra kids. Mini vans look so nerdy- is it just me who thinks this or are they in fact geek mobiles? Is there something else I should consider?

Having a bunch of kids, I can tell you that mini-vans are far better than SUV's for easy access to the rear seats with the sliding doors. I'm not really concerned about looks when it comes to hauling the kiddies around between karate lessons, baseball practices and the their friends houses. I keep my Ferrari in the garage for that.....in my dreams anyway...lol
I've owned one first generation Honda Odyssey, two Mercury Villagers, a Dodge Caravan and a Toyota Sienna over the course of my career as a child taxi driver, aka father, and they are by far the most practical vehicle for that purpose. I considered SUV's, but the ones that have the room I need get lousy gas mileage and the smaller ones don't seat 7.
I just wish Chrysler / Dodge would drop a hemi in a mini-van....Hmmmmm, now THERE's a Monster Garage idea.

Some mini vans are nerdy. The Expedition is not that bad of an SUV...it has tons of room!!! A friend of mine has a Toyota Sienna, and I have driven it...it wasn't a bad vehicle, but I would never drive a mini van!!! I have a Trailblazer and I LOVE it!! You could check into the ones with a 3rd row. Also, look at the new GMC Acadia....very nice!!

Yes they are a sign that you have given up on life. If you want cool and carrying capacity try something like an Audi avant, BMW Touring or Dodge Magnum with a Hemi, all of them carry quite a bit and dont make you look like a gomer.

well you can get a station wagon but then you will be the modern Brady bunch. I say go with a SUV you cant lose. plus you wont be nerdy. Other than the nerdy question you just ask. j/k.

Yeah, I agree - they do look a bit geeky. Probably just a smaller SUV would be good (but not so small it looks like a teenage girl trying to perfect her skill set)

i saw a minivan once that had a sick engine and it was beefed up; pretty sick. But, honestly, if your going to spend that kind of money, dont buy a chick car.
